As all parents know, once the first novel flush of having kids wears off, raising them can be rather dull. And so it is for celebrities, too – as shared by mum-of-two Lily Allen.

The 27-year-old star, who gave birth to her second daughter Marnie two months ago, wrote on Twitter that she is 'bored' and she wishes for something more exciting to happen in her life.

She tweeted: "Sometimes I wish I had better things to do with my time then change nappies, cook dinner, watch s**t telly and respond to Internet trolls. #bored #needtogetoutmore."

And if further evidence were needed, she revealed she has turned to the good old tellybox to get her through the tedium.

Lily, who is also mother to 15-month-old Ethel with husband Sam Cooper, tweeted: "Just finished series 2 "Game Of Thrones", so excited for series 3. Now though, Holby. #kidsinbed (sic)"

Twitter trolls have been a problem for Lily this week following her announcement she will name a pig after one of her followers if they join her Comic Relief challenge, and then send the meat from the animal when it is slaughtered to the user.

Though she offered an alternative - insisting she would save the animal from being butchered if a vegetarian fan was chosen - she was deluged with messages over her 'cruelty'.

The comments prompted her to reply: "Can people stop tweeting me about slaughtering a pig for charity! I keep pigs that are bred for the purpose of eating, I don't see the problem.

"One vegetarian follower suggested that I offer the winner the chance to spare the pig so everyone could be involved. In retrospect, I could have been more sensitive. I hope that gives some clarity on the matter. I never said and I never would kill anything for charity or otherwise.

"Jesus. f***ing. christ. Some of these vegans are loonies, more vitriolic than the most misguided of Cheryl's Soldiers. "So if the hippies could just get off my back, I'd be very grateful. Ta x"
